[SET COMMENTS]

• Baxcalibur functions as a niche wallbreaker and occasional sweeper for hyper offense teams.
• Glaive Rush and Icicle Spear are fantastic STAB moves that hit most of the tier for super effective or neutral damage.
• Earthquake provides good coverage against common defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Skeledirge.
• Baxcalibur competes heavily with Chien-Pao as an offensive Ice-type, as they fill a similar role on teams. The key difference is Baxcalibur's ability to boost its Speed. Another key difference is Baxcalibur's Dragon typing, which gives it weaknesses to common Dragon- and Fairy-type moves. This stacks weaknesses with Koraidon and Miraidon.
• Tera Fairy provides Baxcalibur with a Dragon immunity to better deal with Koraidon and Miraidon, as well as a resistance to Fighting-type moves from Pokemon such as Koraidon and Great Tusk. It also ensures Kingambit and Chien-Pao cannot easily revenge kill Baxcalibur with Sucker Punch.
• Tera Steel grants Baxcalibur important resistances to types like Dragon and Fairy, as well as a Toxic immunity, giving it setup potential against certain walls like Toxapex.
• Grimmsnarl is a great partner: it provides dual screens support, easing Baxcalibur's setup and entry into the match. Another good partner is Hatterene or another form of hazard control, since denying Stealth Rock assists Baxcalibur in setting up.
• Miraidon is a recommended teammate, as it can provide both sweeping potential and wallbreaking power and appreciates Baxcalibur breaking down Clodsire and Ting-Lu. Another recommended teammate is Koraidon, since it appreciates Baxcalibur removing walls like Toxapex and Skeledirge.

• Baxcalibur functions as a niche wallbreaker and occasional sweeper for hyper offense teams once it gets an opportunity to set up. (added fullstop)
• Loaded Dice is used to guarantee 4-5 hits from Icicle Spear so it can deal more damage.
• Glaive Rush and Icicle Spear are fantastic STAB moves that hit for superefective or great neutral damage most Pokemon on the tier.
• Earthquake provides good coverage against popular defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Skeledirge and Steel-types like...(fill out).
• Grimmsnarl is a great partner to Baxcalibur since it provides dual screens support allowing it easier setup and entry. Another good partner is Hatterene or another form of hazard control, since denying Stealth Rock facilitates Baxcalibur on its set up.
• Baxcalibur competes heavily with Chien-Pao as an offensive ice type and they fill a similar role on teams, with the key difference being Baxcalibur's ability to boost its speed, this aspect should be considered on teambuilding. (I wanna see a mention here on how its Dragon-typing is bad for it; you're stacking weaknesses by running this alongside either of the big two and if you're running Grimmsnarl you're asking for trouble. Don't be as wordy as I am though!)
• Tera Fairy is used due to the dragon immunity it provides against the powerful dragon moves used by Koraidon and Miraidon, it also enjoys its fighting resistance against threats like Koraidon's Close Combat or Great Tusk's Close Combat or Body Press, furthermore fairy typing provides Baxcalibur with a dark resistance allowing it to not be revenged as easily from Kingambit's and Chien-Pao's Sucker Punch.
• Tera Steel brings important resistances to types like dragon and fairy while also giving Baxcalibur immunity to Toxic, allowing it set up potential on certain walls like Toxapex that cant deal with it otherwise. (made into another bullet point)
• Miraidon is a recommended teammate, as it can provide both sweeping potential and wall breaking power, and it appreciates Baxcalibur breaking down Clodsire and Ting-Lu. Another recommended teammate is Koraidon, since it apreciates Baxcalibur removing defensive walls like Toxapex and Skeledirge for it.

before you tag GP Team, I'd like you to go over the GP standards. There's a lot of easy fixes you can make that I know you can find, most notably in the way you write types.

2/2

I moved the Grimmsnarl bit under the Tera stuff to better complement the mention of Miraidon as a good teammate.
